Operating facilities or activities.
Glendale City Code § 33-301
in effectSec. 33-301. - Operating facilities or activities.
(a) All persons owning or operating premises or who are engaged in activities which are required by federal or state law to submit to EPA and/or ADEQ a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with an NPDES or AZPDES storm water permit shall provide a copy of such notice to the City upon request. Facilities required to apply for a storm water permit are identified in 40 C.F.R. 122.26(b)(14). Facilities that qualify for a conditional exclusion for "no exposure" under 40 C.F.R. 122.26 (g) shall submit a copy of the signed certification to the City upon request.
(b) All persons engaged in activities which will or may reasonably be expected to result in pollutants entering the public storm drain system shall undertake best management practices (BMPs) to minimize such pollutants, shall provide protection from accidental discharge of pollutants to the public storm drain system and comply with the cleanup and notification requirements of this Article. Such measures shall include the requirements imposed by federal, state, county, or local authorities. BMPs are site- specific and are described in the document "Storm Water Management for Industrial Activities: Developing Pollution Prevention Plans and Best Management Practices" (EPA 832-R-92-006) or other guidance documents available from EPA, Maricopa County Flood Control District, and/or ADEQ.
(c) If a BMP is required by the City to prevent a pollutant from entering the public storm drain system, the person shall implement the BMP in the timeframe deemed reasonable by the City. The person receiving the notice of such a requirement may petition the City to reconsider the application of the BMP to the premises or activity. The written petition must be received within ten (10) working days and shall set forth any reasons and proposed alternatives. The City will act within thirty (30) days of the petition. If no action is taken by the City, the petition is deemed denied. If the City denies the petition, and action is not taken by the person within the required timeframe, failure to implement the BMP is considered a violation of this Article. If the person is unable to implement the BMP within the specified timeframe, an extension may be requested from the City. To receive an extension, the person must submit a written request identifying why the person cannot meet the timeframe, submit documentation to demonstrate that efforts have been made to implement the BMPs (i.e., procurement documentation for parts ordered, evidence that technology is not available, etc.), and provide a schedule for implementation of the BMPs. Granting of the extension is subject to the City's sole, unreviewable discretion.
